The city's staffers at the Municipal Lighting Department offices were nothing short of heroic this past week. Forced to deal with the GOP tax bill confusion, the office was swamped with requests to pre-pay 2018 tax bills before 2017 expired, as well as the usual utility-bill drop-offs.
The city workers responded with professionalism and good humor, and I was able to get in, clarify my billing, pay and go on my merry way, all within 15 minutes.
Contrary to what some may think, the staffers were, in a word, productive.
I hope they're all enjoying a great New Year's weekend. They earned it.
